It' made me chortle Rosie! Along with the spirit animals of the rest of his housemates according to writer Phoebe W-B in NME's Crashing Who's who!

Also just added, the name of Anthony's place of work: "We Don't Give A Fork" - brilliant!

Now that series 1 is over, what else should be added to Anthony's character profile? What does everyone think?

Yes, Damien said in the Irish Indy interview Phoebe told him Antony was a coward. But as you say Rosie there are more layers to him than that so it is hard to give a finite personality profile!

At the top of this thread, there are quotes from Phoebe on Anthony that give her advice to DaMo a bit more depth.

"He’s cool, intelligent, knows what he wants, has an interesting job, yet he has so many insecurities and fears. He can’t make a decision for fear of making the wrong one."

"Anthony is this kind of brooding, cool guy, who thinks he has it all down...he is somebody who can’t make a decision for himself. So is actually much less in control than he gives away."

In the series finale, Jessica also describes Anthony as:

"a very brooding, funny. mysterious, sexy man."

I laughed at Jessica's description of Anthony. She always says things out loud that other people would keep to themselves! Jessica's comment about what she believes everyone does to everyone in the end I would imagine that Anthony would be on her list! It sounds like she's been fantasizing about him!

Anthony's t-shirts were amazing. And he looked very good both in and out of them! Those gifs are so hypnotic. There are some good Irish links too in those t-shirt choices. Two Door Cinema Club and Thin Lizzy both have Irish links. A We Don't Give A Fork T-shirt would be incredible!

 There's a rather interesting contradiction in the statement "....he knows what he wants....He can't make a decision...."  which kind of sums Anthony up for me.  In his head he knows that staying with Kate, getting married, buying a house etc....are all sensible, grown up things to do.  But his heart wants to throw caution to the wind, turn his back on adult responsibility and embrace the chaos that is Lulu.  He's not prepared to risk leaving the security which Kate represents without getting some sort of commitment from Lulu....but surely Lulu's defining feature is her lack of responsibility - if Lulu offered him a sense of security would she be so appealing to him?  In much the same way as when Kate threw caution to the wind with her topless paint throwing he stopped her....despite his assertion that he wanted her to be more spontaneous.  I think he thinks he knows what he wants but what he thinks he wants isn't what he really wants and he doesn't really want to think about what he really wants - Maybe what he really wants to do is to sing....man!! (sorry!)

There is something inherently selfish, self centered and rather childish about Anthony.  His fear of making the wrong decision leads him to not really consider the feelings of those around him.....he is very much the centre of his own world.  He may like to think he's cool (hence the t-shirts?)  but when things don't go his own way he's inclined to throw a tantrum - which isn't particularly cool!  And I think that he feels that he doesn't have any control over his own life, which is why he tries to control other people's.

Jessica's description amuses me - I don't want to disagree with her.....but I do suspect that there are many other men that she would give the same attributes....
